What is this organ he askedtouching his forehead It is named the breve By means of it we read one anothers thoughts Stillspeech is betterfor then the heart can be read too He smiled They say that speech is given us to deceive others One can deceive with thoughttoo But Im thinking of the bestnot the worst Have you seen my friends She scrutinised him quietlybefore answering Did you not come alone I came with two other menin a machine I must have lost consciousness on arrivaland I havent seen them since Thats very strange! NoI havent seen them They cant be hereor we would have known it My husband and I What is your nameand your husbands name Mine is Joid my husbands is Panawe We live a very long way from here stillit came to us both last night that you were lying here insensible We almost quarrelled about which of us should come to youbut in the end I Here she laughed I because I am the stronger hearted of the two he is the purer in perception ThanksJoid! said Maskull simply |
| The colors chased each other rapidly beneath her skin Ohwhy do you say that What pleasure is greater than lovingkindness I rejoiced at the opportunity But now we must exchange blood What is this he demandedrather puzzled It must be so Your blood is far too thick and heavy for our world Until you have an infusion of mineyou will never get up Maskull flushed I feel like a complete ignoramus here t it hurt you If your blood pains youI suppose it will pain me But we will share the pain This is a new kind of hospitality to mehe muttered Wouldnt you do the same for me asked Joidhalf smilinghalf agitated I cant answer for any of my actions in this world I scarcely know where I am Whyyes of course I wouldJoid While they were talking it had become full day The mists had rolled away from the groundand only the upper atmosphere remained fog charged The desert of scarlet sand stretched in all directioncept onewhere there was a sort of little oasis some low hillsclothed sparsely with little purple trees from base to summit It was about a quarter of a mile distant Joid had brought with her a small flint knife Without any trace of nervousnessshe made a carefuldeep incision on her upper arm Maskull expostulated Reallythis part of it is nothingshe saidlaughing And if it were a sacrifice that is no sacrifice what merit is there in that Come now your arm! The blood was streaming down her arm It was not red bloodbut a milkyopalescent fluid Not that one! said Maskullshrinking I have already been cut there He submitted the otherand his blood poured forth Joid delicately and skilfully placed the s of the two wounds togetherand then kept her arm pressed tightly against Maskulls for a long time He felt a stream of pleasure entering his body through the incision His old lightness and vigour began to return to him After about five minutes a duel of kindness started between them he wanted to remove his armand she to continue At last he had his waybut it was none too soon she stood there pale and dispirited She looked at him with a more serious expression than beforeas if strange depths had opened up before her eyes What is your name Maskull Where have you come fromwith this awful blood From a world called Earth The blood is clearly unsuitable for this worldJoidbut after allthat was only to be expected I am sorry I let you have your way Ohdont say that! There was nothing else to be done We must all help one another Yetsomehow forgive me I feel polluted And well you mayfor its a fearful thing for a girl to accept in her own veins the blood of a strange man from a strange planet If I had not been so dazed and weak I would never have allowed it But I would have insisted Are we not all brothers and sisters Why did you come hereMaskull He was conscious of a slight degree of embarrment Will you think it foolish if I say I ly know I came with those two men Perhaps I was attracted by curiosityor perhaps it was the love of adventure Perhapssaid Joid I der These friends of yours must be terrible men Why did they come That I can tell you They came to follow Surtur Her face grew troubled I dont understand it One of them at least must be a bad manand yet if he is follog Surtur or Shapingas he is called here he cant be really bad What do you know of Surtur asked Maskull in astonishment Joid remained silent for a timestudying his face His brain moved restlesslyas though it were being probed from outside I see and yet I dont seeshe said at last It is very difficult Your God is a dreadful Being bodylessunfriendlyinvisible Here we dont worship a God like that Tell mehas any man set eyes on your God What does all this meanJoid Why speak of God I want to know In ancient timeswhen the earth was young and granda few holy men are reputed to have walked and spoken with Godbut those days are past Our world is still youngsaid Joid Shaping goes among us and converses with us He is real and active a friend and lover Shaping made usand he loves his work Have you met him demanded Maskullly believing his ears No I have done nothing to deserve it yet Some day I may have an opportunity to sacrifice myselfand then I may be rewarded by meeting and talking with Shaping I have certainly come to another world But why do you say he is the same as Surtur Yeshe is the same We women call him Shapingand so do most menbut a few name him Surtur Maskull bit his nail Have you ever heard of Crystalman That is Shaping once again You seehe has many names which shows how much he occupies our minds Crystalman is a name of affection Its oddsaid Maskull I came here with quite different ideas about Crystalman Joid shook her hair In that grove of trees over there stands a desert shrine of his Let us go and pray thereand then well go on our way to Poolingdred That is my home Its a long way offand we must get there before Blodsombre Nowwhat is Blodsombre For about four hours in the middle of the day Branchspells rays are so hot that no one can endure them We call it Blodsombre Is Branchspell another name for Arcturus Joid threw off her seriousness and laughed Naturally we dont take our names from youMaskull I dont think our names are very poeticbut they follow nature She took his arm affectionatelyand directed their walk towards the tree covered hills As they went alongthe sun broke through the upper mists and a terrible gust of scorching heatlike a blast from a furnacestruck Maskulls head He involuntarily looked upbut lowered his eyes again like lightning All that he saw in that instant was a glaring ball of electric whitethree times the apparent diameter of the sun For a few minutes he was quite blind My God! he exclaimed If its like this in early morning you must be right enough about Blodsombre When he had somewhat recovered himself he askedHow long are the days hereJoid Again he felt his brain being probed At this time of the yearfor every hours daylight that you have in summerwe have two The heat is terrific and yet somehow I dont feel so distressed by it as I would have expected I feel it more than usual Its not difficult to account for it you have some of my bloodand I have some of yours Yesevery time I realise thatI Tell meJoidwill my blood alterif I stay here long enough I meanwill it lose its redness and thicknessand become pure and thin and light colouredlike yours Why not If you live as we liveyou will uredly grow like us Do you mean food and drink We eat no foodand drink only water And on that you manage to sustain life WellMaskullour water is good waterreplied Joidsmiling As soon as he could see again he stared around at the landscape The enormous scarlet desert extended everywhere to the horizonexcepting where it was broken by the oasis It was roofed by a cloudlessdeep bluealmost violetsky The circle of the horizon was far larger than on earth On the skylineat right angles to the direction in which they were walkingappeared a chain of mountainsapparently about forty miles distant Onewhich was higher than the restwas shaped like a cup Maskull would have felt inclined to believe he was travelling in dreamlandbut for the intensity of the lightwhich made everything vividly real Joid pointed to the cup shaped mountain Thats Poolingdred You didnt come from there! he exclaimedquite startled YesI did indeed And that is where we have to go to now With the single object of finding me Whyyes |
